Two women, who previously worked with Khan in varying capacities, came forward in 2024 with claims of sexual abuse, harassment, and coercion. He denies all allegations. Khan was suspended whilst the ICC undertook two investigations. Both have since concluded, albeit with differing outcomes. The first found that the women’s claims had merit; the second found that the evidence was insufficient. Now, the two women have spoken publicly about their experiences, as well as addressing counter-claims that they…

Reform UK party’s senior figures will do anything for a propaganda win. The billionaire-backed racist outfit are always desperate for attention. Now they’re trying to make themselves the primary victim of the alleged murder of former Tory and Reform UK politician Ann Widdicombe. Counter-terror investigation opened Widdicombe was found dead at her Devon home on 9 July 2026. Naturally, the British establishment scrambled to eulogise Widdicombe, a notorious homophobe and reactionary. Waxy TV prattler Piers Morgan even skipped over her bigotry to call her “fun and fiesty”. Counter-terrorism police have now taken over the investigation. Top counter-terror cop Laurence Taylor told…

On 17 June, Restore Britain published its ‘Rape Gang Inquiry Report’. In the aftermath, critics accused the authors of using fraudulent figures and selective data to present an Islamophobic narrative. Defenders, meanwhile, used the report to push Islamophobic narratives — essentially backing up the argument of the critics. The notable thing about the report’s defenders is that many of them are ardent sexists themselves. Among them is Andrew Tate; the key driver of global misogyny in the early 2020s: cc: https://t.co/fHRFI9DGK9 — Neo (@Neo__Hq) June 17, 2026 Using victims Restore’s report included testimony from real victims, but it also: Included a…

In what may be his strangest move yet, Tommy Robinson has released a video of himself with Elon Musk‘s father, Errol, an alleged sex offender. Tommy Robinson is in Russia with Erroll Musk, who has been accused of sexually abusing five of his children and stepchildren. pic.twitter.com/kHKxFiVpC4 — Mukhtar (@I_amMukhtar) June 9, 2026 For clarity’s sake, we’re not saying it’s a ‘strange move’ because Errol has faced accusations of sexual abuse. After all, hanging around with alleged sex offenders is par for the course with Robinson. What’s not standard practice, however, is pissing off his wealthy backers and as we’ll get…

The International Criminal Court’s (ICC) chief prosecutor Karim Khan has been suspended from his duties following an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct. Khan has now been referred to disciplinary proceedings which will see a vote by all 125 ICC member states, with the upcoming vote set to decide his fate. However, prior reports regarding the investigation suggested that three judges found that the evidence was not conclusive, despite a UN probe initially finding a “factual basis” for the allegations of sexual misconduct raised by a female aide. Khan has refuted the allegations levelled against him as a “politically motivated smear…

Green Party Leader Zack Polanski is under fire for calling for potential British-Israeli dual national war criminals to be investigated.

Polanski, who is Jewish, signed the 26 May letter. Declassified and the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians are running a campaign to force police to investigate Brits who served in the Israeli military during the genocide. You can read the Canary’s report here. The campaign letter reads: We, the undersigned, are politicians, lawyers, campaigners,…
